Wood floor repair near Apsley End

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Wood floor repair in Apsley End without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Apsley End and across Hertfordshire. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Apsley End

  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Apsley End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
